Welcome to Willow Class

Welcome to Willow!

Week beginning 9.6.25

This week, we have been looking after our partridge chicks and ensuring that they have everything they need to grow.  The children have been fascinated by their habits and are using wonderful scientific language to describe what is happening.  

In Maths, we have continued our work on positioning and rotating 2D shapes, as well as creating our own shape patterns and pictures.  The children are applying what they know about shapes to make accurate judgements regarding which shape would work best in a space and how to manipulate it, if needed.

Next week, we will be creating our own trainers!  We have been studying the art and textile work of designer Sa'rah Sabino.  She uses the patterns and textures from her heritage as inspiration for her work, so we have been thinking carefully about our own preferences and surroundings when designing our trainers.  We can't wait to show them off at Sports Day!

Please remember that, should the weather remain warm, the children will need a named sun hat and have a daily sunscreen applied before school.  Thank you.

Please find Tricky Words below to practise reading at home. Feel free to print them and cut out as flashcards, see if they can read them on screen, or work together to spot them in books. These words are called Tricky Words because (at the moment), we can't sound them out - we just have to learn to read them.
